Observation Narrative	Plot documents a forested floodplain slough with large Nyssa aquatica and Taxodium distichum, many over 1 meter DBH. The depression is close to the main channel of the Blackwater River and connected to it. The plot encompasses the deepest part of the slough an a small part of the slightly higher edge. This habitat is deeply flooded during the winter and spring but appears to draw down rapidly during the summer. The herbaceous vegetation contains many perennial and annual "draw-down" species well adapted to seasonal flooding and fluctuating water levels. Fraxinus caroliniana is the most common understory tree / shrub.
